Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdnan Sufian is an ARC DECRA Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering at UNSW Sydney with eight years’ experience spanning academia and large-scale infrastructure practice. He completed a PhD at UNSW with a visiting year at MIT, followed by postdoctoral work at Imperial College London and a lectureship at the University of Queensland, combining fundamental research with hands-on project delivery on major NSW projects. His research specializes in multi-scale, multi-phase mechanics of granular materials, focusing on water–soil interactions using DEM, PNM and coupled CFD-DEM to produce practical tools and guidelines for urban geotechnical design. He bridges theory and application, translating laboratory and computational insights into solutions for erosion, landslides and contaminant transport while collaborating across physics, mathematics and engineering. Less obvious is how his work on granular mechanics has cross-sector relevance—from pharmaceuticals to agriculture—positioning him to seed interdisciplinary innovations beyond traditional geotechnical boundaries.
